Both tires did fine on dirt and gravel roads, but they were never truly tested in anything muddy or true off-road conditions where 4WD would be necessary.
TFLcar did put the Scorpion Verde to the test on the Tiguan vs Sante Fe vs gold mine hill.
The 19" tire VW puts on the Tiguan is the Scorpion Verde
They used the Santa Fe Sport which does not have a locking AWD system.
What's this button on the Santa Fe Sport on the Edmund's website that has the word "LOCK" on it?
It's not the AWD lock button? There is no center differential in these FWD based systems. It's an electronic program that tells it to hold a full lock (to 50:50) at the electronic multiplate clutch coupling located at the rear axle.
But, you missed the point of my post. TFL did put the Scorpion Verde to the test on Gold Mine Hill
Yes they did, and it didn't do so hot IMO. The stock Kumhos on the SFS are the same as on my SF SE. They look to be terrible in the muck.
